At MADISON.

MADISON, Oct. 1.-The presidents train
reached here at p. m. and was greeted by
salute and the cheers OF ten thousand
peaple. A line OF march was readily
formed and the pre-arranged parade pro-
ceeded. The president viewed with spec
ial interest the welcome arch at the corner
Of Capital park, on which stood the God
des Of Liberty and all the states of the
union represented by pretty girls in ap-
prOpriate costume. 1t was after D. m.
when the procession reached the east front
of the capitol, where the formal address of
welcome was rendered by Chief Justice
Cole. The presidents response was an ap-
propriate acknowledgement of the hos
pitality so generously offered by the people
OF Madison and an expression of gratifca-
ton at the prospect of enjoying
IN so BEAUTIFUL A SPOT
the rest needed by himself and his wife.
Upon the conclusion of the speechmaking
the president and his party entered the
capital building, the doors of which were
closed behind them for a few minutes.
During this time the members
of the reception committee and their
wives were presented to President and Mrs.
Cleveland in the Office of Governor Rusk.
Tho doors were then opened and for
, about two hours the crowd poured i'll.
This town has population of only $4,000
or IA 600, but the surrounding country had
sent in it's thousands and the reception
lacked for nothing in the way of numbers.
When the reception ended Mrs. Cleveland
went at once to the residence of the post
master General Villas, where she spent the
balance of the afternoon in restful quiet.
The Presidsnt was escorted by Governor
Kusk and General Villas
TO THE DANE COUNTY FAIR
grounds, where farmers and exhibitors had
second opportunity to see him, and after
short delay he too went to the Villas resi-
dence. This evening Colonel and Mrs.
Villas gave
A DINNER TO The PRESIDENT.
It was quiet affair of twelve or fifteen
covers. Among the guests were Governor
and Mrs. Rusk, Chief Justice Cole and
Mayor Conklin and wife of this city. The
town is gorgeously arrayed. The grounds
of the Villas mansion are brilliantly il.
Illuminated by arches of gas jets with COL
ored globes, while in the decoration of the
house nothing less costly than ribbons of
satin is seen.
@ FUN WITH THE FISHES.
MADISON, WIS.,, Oct. Sat o'clock this
morning the president, Colonel Villas and
Billy Dunn pulled out for the fishing
grounds, followed by other boats contain
ing the veteran Charley Bernard and his
two settlers who were caring for for Colo
mel Lamont, w. S. Bissell and DR.. Bryant,
all intent on reaching Governors island
and its adjacent bays, where yellow bass
and pickerel abound. The intention is
that when wearied of that sport the party
will go to Comfort hunting retreat, in
which Colonel Villas has long had an inter-
est, and partake Of meal composed in
part of trophies of their skill. The place
where they have gone is the best fishing
place that Wisconsin affords.
THEY DIDN'T SEE HIM.
